THE CARTOON CAPTION CONTEST

Space. The final frontier. These are the winners of the cartoon caption contest. Many entries were disqualified on technical grounds this week because the captions were written from the alien’s point of view even though his thin green lips were sealed. Cartooning 101: The caption always comes from the character with an open mouth. Top prize goes to Margie Martin this week. Congrats, Margie! She will receive Steve Breen’s signed original in the mail. Thanks to all those who participated. The cartoon for next week’s contest is below. To enter, email your caption along with your name, address and telephone number to
cartooncontest@utsandiego.com by 2 p.m. Wednesday. Remember to limit your submissions to three and please keep ‘em brief. Good luck!
